Before the Order

I would keep the d10, or if I changed it I would use 2d6. Old school D&D is not as obsessed with a single die mechanic as the Hasbro versions. Jonathan Tweet borrowed that from ArM2 when he created the Hasbro version of D&D. The universal d20 is an aspect of the Hasbro game and Pathfinder that I strong;y dislike, hence why I stick with older editions.

Rise, Rise, forgotten one, and shine anew!
CrTo 75 Revive the fading thread

This Ritual spell revive a fading or forgotten thread, but only so long as the caster concentrates: This is not true resurrection, but rather a stopgap mesure.

Hello, everyone! Sorry for not getting back on this sooner :worried:
I was thinking about this never-completed part and figured I’d give it a go :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Picking up where I (kinda) left it: how to design a pré-hermetic tradition?

Say, you’ve got 25 points:

  • 1 point buys you a slow, Lesser Domain
  • 5 points buy you either a Slow Greater Domain, or a Fast, esser one
  • As an alternative, you can also buy Supernatural Abilities: They cost 2 points for a minor Virtues, and 6 points for a Major one.

Exempli gratia: We want to design a tradition of Seer.

-For 2 points, we’ll give them the Minor Supernatural Virtue Second Sight

-For 5 points, we buy a Slow Greater Domain: the ability to perveive visual species , which we’ll call Scrying

-For another 5 points, we buy a similar Domain, but for auditory species only. We’ll call that Hearken.

-Still for 5 points, we’ll buy yet another Slow Greater Domain, this time based on Ma’at Api guidelines ( RM p32), to discern properties of an area of earth ( no controling an elemental here), which we’ll call Listening to the Earth Mother.

-A similar abilty, based of Slow Greater Domain, this time based on Ma’at Nut, will a allow them to o discern properties of an area of earth ( but not control an air elemental). We’ll call that Listen to the Sky-Father.

We have now spent 17 points out of 25. With the remaning 8 points, we’ll buy:

-The Eyes of Theseus Minor Virtue (AtD p57) for 2 points

-Still from AtDp57, the Bright Eyes minor virtue ( 2 points)

-Again from AtDp57, the Invasive Eyes minor virtue for 2 points

-And, finally, the Dowsing minor virtue for 2 points

That’s a start. But, aside from Supernatural virtues, we’ll still have to decide on a spellcasting model :expressionless_face:
